ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria on Thursday said that the international community had completely failed to prevent the mass
murder of Kashmiri Muslims by the occupied-Indian forces.
Speaking at the weekly press briefing, he said that at least 15 Kashmiris were martyred by Indian forces in the current we

Responding to a question, Zakaria said that the United States of America was revisiting its Afghanistan policy, further adding that the only solution for Afghan crisis was dialogue between all parties.
He said Pakistan appreciated the dialogue initiative between Hizb-e-Islami and the Afghan government.
“Dialogue should be held with all groups including Taliban,” he said.
Zakaria reiterated that Pakistan had been hosting Afghan refugees from last
four decades and s
tressed that the country didn̵
